Hi my name is Rachel Sliwkowski and I am a high school/ middle school science teacher. Specifically, Biology and general sciences. I am a Narragansett local, I love the Ocean and being outside as much as possible. I am a curious person which is part of what I love so much about science. I have had some amazing science teachers throughout my education which led me to pursue science. I hope to instill a scientific curiosity in my students and make science fun.
